Short Modular PSU for Node 304

Someone recommended a Corsair 430CX Modular but I would prefer more wattage and better build quality. I would like to be able to run a 660ti.
Apparently there are space limitations in this case (node 304) between graphics card and psu so a short but strong psu is what I am seeking. I would love to stay modular but I guess that adds to the clearance problem because of the blocks that you plug in.

To give an idea of power requirements...(not overclocking cpu/gpu/ram)
-GA-h77-wifi mini itx
-lga 1155 ivy bridge core i5xxxx (suggestions welcome).
-660ti (suggestions welcome. shorter models?)
-8 or 16Gb 1600 RAM
-1 SSD
-1 7200 RPM HDD

Thanks!
 
A CX430M should have more than enough juice to run a GTX 660 Ti and an Ivy Bridge quad-core at stock clocks-- your power draw should be well under 300W even at full load.

However, if you do need more power, looks like the Corsair HX-series units are the same length (150mm), at least for the HX650...
 
Ordered this 140mm fully modular PSU.

Spent the extra money on this PSU plus a kit of shorter cables to keep things tidy. I did bundle with other things on newegg and used a promo code to get $25 off orders over $250 etc... so overall I didn't end up spending WAY more and I'll be a lot happier with the build as long as this PSU works out as I hope. I should have the build done by this weekend or sometime next week. I'll post my final result. This may be the answer to the NODE 304 + full size graphics card + fully modular PSU conundrum.
